Post-mortem helminthological examinations were performed in Togo on small ruminants of the Djallonké breed (59 sheep, 60 goats), revealing the presence of eight gastrointestinal nematode species which were, in decreasing prevalence order, Trichostrongylus sp. (T. axei and T. colubriformis) (99%), Haemonchus contortus (82%), Strongyloides papillosus (67%), Cooperia curticei (43%), Oesophagostomum columbianum (40%), Gaigeria pachyscelis (36%) and Trichuris ovis (4%). The average worm burden was 1,367 +/- 146 in sheep and 1,133 +/- 102 in goats with an adult worm population peak in August-September (sheep: 2,135 +/- 494, goats: 2,066 +/- 270). During the dry season, Haemonchus contortus and Oesophagostomum columbianum populations were mainly in larval hypobiosis (L4). The number of eggs per gram faeces was usually high (> 3,000) and neither the species nor the age of the host (6 months to 3 years) played a significant role in helminth abundance.
在多哥对贾隆凯品种的小反刍动物（59只绵羊、60只山羊）进行了死后蠕虫学检查，发现存在8种胃肠线虫，按患病率从高到低依次为：毛圆线虫属（奥氏毛圆线虫和蛇形毛圆线虫）（99%）、捻转血矛线虫（82%）、乳头类圆线虫（67%）、柯氏古柏线虫（43%）、哥伦比亚食道口线虫（40%）、厚结盖吉线虫（36%）和绵羊鞭虫（4%）。绵羊的平均虫负荷为1367±146，山羊为1133±102，成虫种群在8月至9月达到峰值（绵羊：2135±494，山羊：2066±270）。在旱季，捻转血矛线虫和哥伦比亚食道口线虫种群主要处于幼虫休眠状态（L4）。每克粪便中的虫卵数量通常很高（>3000），宿主的种类和年龄（6个月至3岁）对蠕虫丰度均无显著影响。
